I never played tennis before, but I was a soccer player on my teens. Beach soccer, footsal and football/soccer (11) (grass) a normal player can handle all of them. Ronaldinho is a good example of that. He played footsal before moving to football/soccer (11). However, I cant understand why R. Nadal can't handle grass courts but he is uncontested champion on clay courts.

When a ball bounces on clay it loses a significant amount of forward momentum while on grass the ball skids and comes low at you. One therefore needs to run around much more on clay while a serve and volley game works best on grass.
Nadal's strengths are his ability to run around the court at fabulous speeds and hit the ball long and hard with a lot of topspin. so he plays well on clay while his serve is not devastating nor is he comfortable at the net, so he struggles on grass.

It is because of this difference in playing conditions and playing styles required that there have been only 5 players in history who have won all the four grand slam tournaments (Rod laver, Fred Perry, Roy Emerson, Don Budge and Andre Agassi)

Having said that,going by how Nadal made mince meat of Agassi a couple of days ago, am certain that Nadal will win a title on grass soon. It's a matter of adapting your game for the surface. easier said than done for most players, even champions, but Nadal might just do it.
